2. I want a remote script to write to a file, then scan that file for a line beginning with a specific word, then read that line back, then edit a part of that line leaving the rest as is, then read back the whole file.
Usage: /blah then some stuff here
alias blah {
;I want a remote script to write to a file
write filename $1-
;$1- means first/param word to last
;then scan that file for a line beginning with a specific word
var %readdata = $read(filename,s,$1)
var %readline = $readn
if (%readdata) {
;then read that line back
echo -ag Data Found on line %readline
echo -ag Line equals: $1 %readdata
;then edit a part of that line leaving the rest as is
var %replacedata = $replace(%readdata,find this,replace with this)
;overwrite the readn line with the new data
write -l $+ %readline $1 %replacedata
}
;then read back the whole file
var %i = 1
var %lines = $lines(filename)
while (%i <= %lines) {
echo -ag $read(filename,%i)
inc %i
}
}
That's probably nowhere close to what you have pictured or how you want it, but hopefully some of this information will help you. Anything is possible in mIRC, it just takes time to learn what does what. You want it to do something but don't know how yet but you'll eventually get there
.
